The rather exciting fact is that there is under two weeks until we fly Heathrow-Washington DC to start our adventure. It's all feeling pretty real now, and while the cycling is daunting and all, the organisation involved is pretty huge as well it turns out! While the original plan was to fly to Dulles airport and get the train down from Union Station, it turns out the time delay of faffing around waiting days for trains might be something we should avoid. I'm currently toying with the idea of hiring an SUV or something similar and driving down to the startling in Yorktown, VA-but this is also pretty complicated. All in all it's a bit frustrating running into issues before we've even started!
On a more positive note, our fundraising efforts really have taken off- with just £900 or so to go to reach our target of £3k, things really are looking up. If you want to support CLICSargent, as well as spurring us on, visit our fundraising page here
I'll post more details about the specifics of our route in the next couple of days, but in the meantime I had better get back to stressing out over transportation issues!
If you get attached to that possible SUV anything like you got attached to your van, i'd bet you would consider driving across America!
